OMG, I am so ticked. (You had to bring up “Trayvon”!)
I could not believe. An old white woman AT CHURCH brought up for prayers to pray for “all the Trayvon Martins of the world” and for “racial justice”.
When prayers of the church are set to start, our pastor asks our small congregation for specifics; usually it’s such as my sister’s cancer, maybe for soldiers’ safety (especially today because it’s Memorial weekend), people’s surgery, etc. Few if any people bring up anything remotely political - and you know this gets me because she’s lynching Zimmermans of the world on no evidence.
If she was going to bring it up, it should be for calm and judicious prudence and logic so real justice can be done. But no, the premise was that poor black people are always being hunted down.
“An old white woman AT CHURCH brought up for prayers to pray for all the Trayvon Martins of the world and for racial justice.”
And, guess who she will be voting for, come November. It worked.
